Im going to regret my cable question
Having read so many "do speaker cables matter" threads, reviews, etc., over the years I am going to open up this can of worms again. So here goes.
I would like some opinions on the pairing of my amp, speakers, and a possible upgrade of speaker cables. My kit consists of a Rotel Michi X3, S2 and Monitor Audio Gold 300 G5's.
Would anyone venture a suggestion on what might be a good fit, with a budget of no more than $1200 CND.
I currently have Audioquest Type 4 which are some years old by now. Im looking at AQ Rocket 33 or 44's but I am open to other brands.
Although I understand the "coat hangers work just as well" theory I would prefer only constructive suggestions from those who feel there is a benefit to cable upgrades please.
Cheers.

Any part matters in analog circuit BUT it depends on the circuit how much does it matter. For example, simple old tube schematics (Audio Note) will depend on cables way more than (most) modern solid state. But there are different solid state designs too, so... Someone's experience won't necessary apply to you. Ethernet cables are all the same though. |
Not really. The 1’s and 0’s are on an analog carrier which can be tweaked to affect the SQ. Whether you hear the difference - or not - between cables depends on the resolution of the audio system. |
By that do you mean that a digital cable, being made of copper after all, can pick up and transmit noise that could affect sound quality in an improperly shielded downstream component, or that the characteristics of a cable somehow have the ability to polish the 1s and 0s, as you say, in such a way that sound quality can be impacted? |
